Answer:

Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariana workings:

-3(2x - 4) = -12

-6x - 12 = -12

Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead

-6x = 0

x=0

Correct workings:

-3(2x - 4) = -12

-6x + 12 = - 12

-6x = -12 - 12

-6x = -24

x = -24/-6

x = 4

An elevator starts at the basement with 8 people (not including the elevator operator) and discharges them all by the time it re

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1287

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people in elevator , n = 8

Number of floors, r = 6

Since they all look alike, arrangement doesn't matter, the we use combination :

(n+r-1 r - 1) = (8+6-1 C 6-1) = 13C5

Recall:

nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!

13C5 = 13! / (13-5)!5!

13C5 = 13*12*11*10*9 / 5*4*3*2*1

= 1287

fatima claims that the distribution of u is uniform with a median of 0.4 field goal percentage. is fatima’s claim supported by t

Amanda [17]

Fatima's claim is not supported by the table because, the distribution is skewed right, with a median of 0.4 field goal advantage.

From the table, the median position is calculated as:

$\mathbf{Median = \frac{1}{5} th}$

$\mathbf{Median = 0.2\ nd }$

The 0.2nd data falls in the 0.4 field goal category.

So, the median element is:

$\mathbf{Median = 0.4}$

However, the distribution of the table are concentrated on the left.

This means that, the distribution is not uniform, instead it is skewed right.

A uniform distribution has a skewness of 0.

Hence, Fatima's claim is not supported by the table
